and More Onions

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Yesterday I showed you how I keep my red onions. Today I’m going to show you how I keep other onions.

Why segregate? No reason, I just like the colors one of kind all piled up.

I keep my yellow onions in an old dough trough.

Same reasoning. When you keep a item squirreled away in a pantry, you tend to forget you have them. Fresh onion adds so much flavor to many meals that it’s a shame to hide them.

Mine are right out on the cabinet.

I hear you! You say space is at a premium?

I used to have that problem.

Consider one of these:

These three tiered hanging baskets are great space savers and they keep your produce ‘in sight, in mind’!

I found this one at UsefulThings.com. NO affiliation with them, no experience with them, but they do have useful things! lol - You may be able to find this at your local hardware store…

Grandmother’s Earthenware Bowl

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

I’ve my grandmother’s old brownware bowl. It’s ancient. It’s heavy and I believe it has a hairline crack.

I don’t use it for mixing foods as I’m a little bit afraid that it’s so old that it might not take the beating. So, what do you do with things like that?

Find a way to use it in your everyday life. You’ll bring back cherished memories whenever you see it and your grandmother will be looking down on you smiling that you’re using her bowl.

I’ve been storing red onions in mine, right out on the countertop.

When you store things out in the open, you’re more likely to use them. In sight – in mind!
